Extends: AdventureJS.Assets.Asset

Defined in: Adventure/Assets/Global.js, line 5

Todos: This isn't complete, is it?

Engine class

Constructor:

MyGame.createAsset({ "class": "Global", "name": "foo", [...] })

Description

Global is a special class of abstract global Assets. Authors should not have to construct or modify this Asset.

Private Constructor:

var foo = new Global(game_name, name)

Though all in-game glasses use a standard constructor method under the hood, it's unlikely that you'd need to call it directly. To create an instance of the Global class, it must be defined in a game file as a generic object. That object will be used at runtime to construct a new game class instance, which will be validated and initialized before adding it to the Game. See above for the public constructor, or see Game#createAsset to learn more.

Parameters:

  • game_name String
    The name of the top level game object.
  • name String
    A name for the object, to be serialized and used as ID.

Defined in: Adventure/Asset/doVerbAction.js, line 5

Inherited from: AdventureJS.Assets.Asset#doVerbAction

Parameters:

  • action string
  • asset2 string
    We use asset.name here instead of asset.id in support of authors, because we're never asking them to deal in IDs, only names. Hooks will only be defined by authors, so we let them use asset.name as their identifier. We do however make an effort to see if an id has been passed instead of a name, because Ivan.
  • asset3 string
  • params object
    Arbitrary parameter object.
Check if this asset has a general verb action or reaction for the specified event, or if the asset has an action for the specific asset. If either form is found, pass it to getStringArrayFunction and return the results. If the result returns false or null it will terminate the calling verb's default behavior.

We look for actions in two forms:
  • Function properties such as asset.doThisToThat() are called. If a function returns null or false, that effectively ends the turn.
  • String properties such as asset.do_this_to_that override the turn's default output.

    Defined in: Adventure/Asset.js, line 235

    Overrides from: AdventureJS.Assets.Asset#proper_name

    The asset's proper name, as provided in the game file. Assets can have both a name and a proper name. Used chiefly for characters, so that, for example, an asset can be both 'cat' and 'Mister Whiskers'.
    Proper_name
    Proper_name :Getter

    Defined in: Adventure/Asset.js, line 465

    Inherited from: AdventureJS.Assets.Asset#Proper_name

    Defined in: Adventure/Asset.js, line 108

    Inherited from: AdventureJS.Assets.Asset#quirks

    singular
    singular :String

    Defined in: Adventure/Asset.js, line 314

    Inherited from: AdventureJS.Assets.Asset#singular

    singularPluralPairs
    singularPluralPairs :Array

    Defined in: Adventure/Asset.js, line 332

    Inherited from: AdventureJS.Assets.Asset#singularPluralPairs

    singularPluralPairs is a collection of strings representing the singular and plural forms of this asset, for example ['mug', 'mugs']. Players can use the singular to refer to a single asset or the plural to refer to a group of assets. These are stored in pairs so we can check for correspondence between the forms.
    split_name_for_world_lookup
    split_name_for_world_lookup :Boolean

    Defined in: Adventure/Asset.js, line 167

    Inherited from: AdventureJS.Assets.Asset#split_name_for_world_lookup

    Default value: true

    Object names are split into individual words for the world_lookup table. For example, given an object named "crystal sword", AdventureJS creates lookup table entries for "crystal" and "sword". This lets the game recognize either word as player input, such as "get crystal" or "swing sword".

    But, an author might want to name a thing, eg, "hole in the ground", in which case we wind up with lookup table entries for "hole" and "in" and "the" and "ground", which is likely to lead to bad input parsing. To avoid name splitting, set split_name_for_world_lookup to false. The object's full name will still be added to the lookup.
    the
    the :Getter

    Defined in: Adventure/Asset.js, line 483

    Inherited from: AdventureJS.Assets.Asset#the

    Inherited from: AdventureJS.Assets.Asset#use_definite_article

    An option to prevent definite/indefinite articles from appearing before an asset name. Used chiefly for characters, to prevent phrases such as "the Mrs. Beasley". Can be overridden in game file.
    use_definite_article_in_lists
    use_definite_article_in_lists :Boolean

    Defined in: Adventure/Asset.js, line 283

    Inherited from: AdventureJS.Assets.Asset#use_definite_article_in_lists

    Default value: false

    A preference for how an asset's name appears when it is printed in certain contexts. Chiefly used for room names. For example, you might name a room 'Sitting Room', but want it to appear as 'the Sitting Room' in some contexts for narrative clarity. Can be overridden by game settings.
    use_proper_name
    use_proper_name :Boolean

    Defined in: Adventure/Asset.js, line 244

    Inherited from: AdventureJS.Assets.Asset#use_proper_name

    Default value: true

    Used to determine whether to display name or proper name. If this is set to false, by default the asset's name will be printed with a definite article. If set to true, the asset's name will be printed without a definite article. For instance, you might want a name like "Mrs. Fox" to appear as written, whereas you might want a character just named "fox" to appear as "the fox" in text.
